South Carroll County Board extends directors contract through 2027, says raise planned
Summary
The South Carroll County Board of Education approved a one-year extension of Director Dr. Lisa Norriss contract into 2027 and discussed a planned staff pay increase tied to district raises.
The South Carroll County Board of Education voted to extend Superintendent Dr. Lisa Norriss contract by one year into 2027 after board members described positive evaluations and program improvements. The board took the action during its March 20 meeting in Clarksburg.
Board Chair Corey Bartholomew introduced the motion for a one-year extension, and Colton Moore seconded it. The meeting record notes the motion passed unanimously.
The board discussed salary details. Treasurer Donna McDaniel-Cox asked about the directors salary; Bartholomew said the director "will get the raise that all the other staff sees." Dr. Lisa Norris told the board she was "trying really hard to give another six percent raise this coming year." The record does not specify the final contract salary or whether the raise was included in the extension motion.
Board members cited favorable evaluations, new programs, and sound finances in explaining the extension. The motion record lists Bartholomew as mover and Moore as seconder; the vote was unanimous according to the minutes.
The board did not include detailed contract language or a new salary figure in the meeting record. Any adjustment to compensation appears tied to the broader staff pay action discussed by the board rather than a separately recorded amendment to the directors contract.
